2022 Polka Visionary Personality of the Year Interview with Steve Meisner

Steve Meisner was my 20th annual Polka Visionary Personality of the Year. We recorded this interview back in late November 2022. At the time, this was intended for Polka Visionary Society members only. But with Steve's recent passing, I'm making it available here along with a few short stories in my video introduction, as well as a few bonus clips that weren't able to fit in the original version of the interview. All told, this is about an hour long, so grab your favorite beverage and plan to learn a lot about one of polka music's greatest talents, as well as many stories about Steve's dad, Verne Meisner. Thanks for watching. Rest in peace, Steve.

My musical Mount Everest, my teacher, and my friend. Still in shock. It’s really nice to hear his voice and more of his stories.
